California is doomed. Too many of the middle class and businesses have been driven out and replaced by illegals and parasites.

I’ve been getting offers from headhunters for years to come take jobs at 25% more than I make. Of course due to differences in taxes and cost of living (never mind all the lunatic laws) what they’re really offering me is a 30-40% cut in my standard of living. I just laugh and tell them they will have to DOUBLE their offer for me to even consider it. They inevitably mumble that they can’t. Meanwhile companies in Commiefornia are screaming for educated/skilled workers they cannot get.....because educated people generally aren’t stupid enough to agree to a huge reduction in their standard of living.

Given the pension obligations to their public sector labor unions, given their lavish spending on socialist boondoggles like high speed rail, given their stifling regulations on everything, given the flood of leeches into the state and the exodus of productive people......they are doomed. There’s no turning back now.

What are you talking about? Even with a some business leaving, CA economy dwarfs your states puny economy and I don’t even know what state you’re in.

Does that tell ya something?

Btw, I tend to agree with others, there is a good chance the azzholes running this state overplayed their hands and things could turn around. It’s happened before, it can happen again.

You got that right.

Due high cost of living, insane taxes, traffic gridlock, crumbling infrastructure and general societal degeneration into a Marxist illegal alien dominated dystopia, unless you are very wealthy and live in a gated enclave isolated from the dystopia ( or you benefit from it), quality of life is abysmal and close to non existent

For an increasing number of middle class Californians drowning in societal dysfunction, you don’t live in Cali, you exist there
